@@BigOrangeSnowman88 yeah I know and so did Ash but I mean game characters. Sorry for the confusion. They could've given G-max Kingler even to Swordward (give Shielbert something like G-max Sandaconda)
I used dewgong because my favorite kinds of Pokémon are ones that are simplistic in design. It’s better than the stats would make it seem. It was pretty helpful in my FireRed team Edit: I originally used it because I have used Lapras so many times but I was happy with the way it turned out
As for Kanto Pokémon I’ve never used but would like to, I’d like to use Electibuzz. It was never my go to Kanto Electric type (that usually being Jolteon and occasionally Raichu), but I always liked its design.
Definitely use kadabra in gen 2! I just finished a run of crystal, and it ended up 12 levels higher than any other mon by the end of the e4. Those elemental punches and psychic let it solo the e4
All the mentions of the trade evos makes me want to try a run with only second stage trade mons, a team of Haunter, Machoke, Kadabra and Graveler sounds super interesting
Kadabra let's you solo the entire Gen II games with relative ease. Its absurd speed should almost always let it hit first and with the elemental punches, it hits basically everything for super effective damage.
For me, I think jynx is the best Pokemon because it's ice and psychic type Pokemon and it has massive advantage against most of the elite four, gym leaders and Giovanni.
What I find funny is that I've used a lot of these mons. Namely the Poison-types, Venomoth was even my first Shiny. And Weezing is damn near excellent for Mono-Poison runs with the coverage and Levitate. Can't say I've ever used a Dewgong myself, precisely because it is such a late-game mon... that you need to surf for, at a point where I have a mon I prefer way more. Like, in USUM, I genuinely used a Cloyster, and enjoyed it, even though I've literally never used one before.
I used Rapidash in my first run of Pokémon Diamond as a kid and it went great! Having Flare Blitz for the league was nice! I used it again in Platinum which was more fun. I think I may have used Dewgong in XD Gale of Darkness but I’m not sure. Honestly I’ve yet to use Nidoking, Arcanine, Ninetales, and Starmie in a playthrough.
Used Venomoth in my first playthrough of Let's Go Eevee. You can get it early (north of Cerulean I think) and it was pretty good. That Bug Buzz and Psychic combo was deadly and it was my Pseudo-Psychic type. Dewgong was in my Hall of Fame for Yellow on the DS through an in-game trade. It helps clean up the late game and helps in the league
I'd also like to include Electabuzz on this list. One of my favourite Pokémon ever design wise (the switch to 3D models has not been kind though yikes), it's fast and has a nice Special Attack.
I actually WANTED the Everstone from the Sinnoh Haunter. I was trying to breed Pokémon and needed an Everstone to do so. When I found out I could get one from that trade, I was actually pretty happy lol
Doing only 1 type challenge runs with a rule that I have to catch all of the Pokémon of that type in the regional dex [with a few exceptions] I pretty much have to use everything at some point...
All the gen1 trade evolution are pretty decent Graveler is quite op in Gen2 🤔 best example I can give is it's battle against the most favorite gym leader in Gen2 the ending reset or over leveling usually level 24 just to beat a level 20Miltank all you need is a Female level 17 Geodude and the best part beating her using her own strat but you will do better since you will resist her atk while yours is stab boosted 😊
When I player Silver 1st time I used my Masterball on a Ditto. I remember facing Lugia later and being sad I cannot catch it so I just Transformed into it.
I just ran through Leafgreen recently with Venomoth, Kingler, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Marowak, and Magmar! Kinda had the same realization that there were many pokemon I haven't used surprisingly. I don't really like using previous gen pokemon in newer gens so with some of the late game pokemon it's a hassle
@@matthewroberts198 It was alright, pretty weak. I used a code so I could catch a wild one instead of Ch'ding, the traded one, so it's low base total wasn't offset by increased experience. It did well against Erika and Bruno of course, but it came in really clutch for me against Agatha too.
I have a lot of Pokémon from Kanto I want to use but my number 1, is farfetch’d, yes I’m serious. I’ve always liked having a small Pokémon throughout the whole game alongside a bunch of big and powerful Pokemon that would usually be on my team, like Ash’s pikachu, and farfetch’d has always seemed like the perfect fit for me in terms of Kanto, plus it’s a Pokémon that I generally really like and think it’s a funny Pokémon, I’ve used sirfetch’d and evolved it from Galarian farfetch’d, but I’ve never gotten around to using Kantonian farfetch’d yet. Honorable mentions include Dodrio, Persian, scyther, Kabutops, dragonite (I’ve used dragonite in online battles but not for a playthrough) sandslash, pidgeot, arbok, arcanine, dewgong, aerodactyl and rhydon
As someone who went years without being able to get trade evolutions, all of the pre-evolutions are solid mons, but man I wished I could have evolved them years ago. Now I just port them to Legends Arceus and use the link cable.
Dewgong was in my original team back in the day. It was great little Pokémon. Also used it again when gold and silver got rereleased on the DS. The fact it has access to ice beam by level up makes it a good (not great😂) choice for an in game playthrough
Same except I used it recently in Pokemon Yellow on the DS. Got it through that trade on Cinnabar Island. It definitely helped in the late game and was on my Hall of Fame team though I wasn't super attached to it. Got it moved up to my Current Pokemon Home.
I have used Dewgong on a FireRed team when I chose Charmander as my starter. I liked it. For Kanto-based Grass types, I alternate between Vileplume and Victreebel, especially since I've either rarely or never chosen Bulbasaur as my starter. I've used Rapidash once for an in-game team in Platinum. I wish I picked a different Fire type. As for Pokémon from the Kanto Dex that I've never or rarely used for an in-game team that I would consider using one day, mine are: Lapras, Gyarados(although I've used the shiny one from the Lake of Rage when I was a kid once or twice; I would like to used one in a game for Gens 4-9 some day), Tangela/Tangrowth, Flareon, Hitmonchan, Scyther, Magneton, Electabuzz(I've used Electivire but not Electabuzz), Magmar(I've used Magmortar, but not Magmar), Tauros, Pinsir, Jynx, Poliwrath, Dragonite, Clefable, Golduck, Kabutops, Omastar, Tentacruel, Starmie, Slowbro, Muk(especially Alolan Muk), Cloyster, Kangaskhan, Weezing, Sandslash, Marowak, Seadra/Kingdra, and Snorlax.
I would like to see you run some type/gym leader runs. Like starting with all mono or primary types. Like rock team or electric or water. Seams challenging enough due to permanent type disadvantage ya kmoe
Rapidash is my 3rd favourite Pokemon of all time behind Nidoking and God (Vaporeon) and it is CRIMINALLY underrated. In my last Leaf Green run it mowed Agatha and Lance down.
Used Rapidash in DP. Was pretty useless, especially by mid game. Kadabra was way more useful. Used Weezing in HGSS. Way better than I ever could imagine. Would recommend.
I used the infamous Haunter in Pokémon Pearl. All the way to the E4 with Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, Thunderbolt and Dream Eater. However, my cousin and I traded this Haunter twice so we both could get Gengar.
I've always preferred Kadabra to Alakazam. He has a much better design and for that reason I only evolved Kadabras to fill up the Pokédex. But whenever I had one on my team, he stayed a Kadabra. I have similar feelings about Haunter who is aesthetically so much cooler than Gengar. Haunter actually looks like a ghost with a cool and creepy design, but Gengar is too cutesy.
I used Magneton and Rapidah in Let's Go Eevee, Magnetzone in Moon, and Kadabra in gen 3. When I restarted my Soul Silver, I was able to uses Alakazam and Gengar because I had a DS and 3DS.
Honestly I've used every 1 gen pokemon but once thinking of non general 4 or gen 2 evolutions 15 pokemon. I've even used the machoke, Kadabra, and haunter group. Kadabra (was my 2nd ever 100 pokemon with blue). Graveler is the only 1 of the 4 I never used. I even used electrode cause I actually like the basic concept of it but didn't realize it sucked with no electric moves unless you taught them to it. I've always wanted to use dewdong but as you said not good but I have a heart for sea lions and otters so I'll have it on my team very soon cause I do have an itch to redo a older generation game. Ditto I used out of a bet and yeah never again but it was fun though.
Never had trade evos until I was in my 20s where I got a Machamp for the first time. But yeah, the middle stages can get you very far in my experience. Used to love using Kadabra and Haunter.
Venomoth was one of my aces in my slforst trip through Paldea in Violet, and the shiny Ponyta you get in PLA evolved into Rapidash and adventured all through Hisui with Mr. Both were excellent.
Marowak is the most underrated one imo, with bone club it gets 160 base attack, and anything it gets through nature, ev and iv it gets doubled as well, so with attack maxed as much as possible at lvl 100 with one sword dance it already reach the ceiling of 999 attack, it's a beast
Weezing is not only my favorite poison type mon, but it’s also a ton of fun to use. Used it in B2 and it was awesome. Also, Dewgong is fun too, used one in my most recent Alola run and it was also a ton of fun
I have used dewgong in fire red and let's go why I always thought it looked really cool f It was actually pretty strong and realy fun U should do a fire red play thru on this channel 7seibg most of the pokemon of this video
I love Magneton so much more then Magnezone. In fact, I caught a shiny Magnemite in Scarlet, evolved it into Magneton and I’m keeping it there. I gave it a evolite and it’s still on my team.
ive used rapidash is diamond and it is a very underrated mon yeah fire stab is not its strongest attacks but it can hit hard and is fast use it as a snipe killer and it will perform good enough
I've always prefered Haunter over Gengar, I just simply think Haunter has a cooler design and thats what I go for. Though, I've never had Haunter has a permanent teammember, but a swap-in if my main team wouldn't cut it in a gym match
I didn't always have access to trade evolutions so there was a time in fire red where I took Haunter to the elite four and it performed just fine. Though I'd prefer to have a fully evolved Gengar ngl.
I've used most of these. I think the only ones I haven't are Venomoth, Magneton, and Ditto. I'm not _entirely_ sure about Vileplume and Machoke, though.
Here's of list of Kanto Pokémon I've never used on a playthrough team, but would really like to use at some point. • Kingler • Cloyster • Flareon • Vaporeon • Victreebel • Dodrio • Dragonite • Sandslash • Ninetales • Exeggutor
Interesting list. Makes me wonder what you'd pick for the other regions. Y'know, it's funny how you mentioned you created A LOT of teams in the past. You've yet to make one for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. At this point, though, I've just about given up on that from you, no offense. I'll just look elsewhere. 😞
A few responses to your list: 10) Then it got Quiver Dance, which makes everything better. 9) Same for me, about other options overshadowing it. Still, there’s always the possibility of a Hoenn Mono-Grass run (probably just in Emerald, where Roselia isn’t available). 8) Granted, it’s not as great without the Eviolite, but I acknowledge your willingness to try. Personally, I always wanted to use Rocky in Yellow, since he DOES evolve. 7) This is one I HAVE used before, even before its final evolution came out. But then I tested Jolteon, who quickly stole the spot for Best Kantonian Electric-Type. Bummer. (Naturally, I’ve used the final form several times, particularly in Sinnoh and Unova.) 6) Unevolved or not, it’s a beast. I only used it once, before preferring Hypno and later Jynx (access to sleep infliction). 5) Yeah, I always stuck to Charizard or Arcanine in Kanto. But both this and Ninetails deserve a fair shot. And yes, D/P infamy. 4) I always wanted to use one ever since I too saw Chuggaconroy’s Crystal run. I doubt I’ll ever catch a shiny, but this thing is a solid tank, and it has better coverage than you might expect. 3) I should give this one a chance. Even though I tend to use either Lapras or Jynx as my Ice-Type, most of the time. After all, this thing can take hits. 2) I only use it for breeding. And nothing else. 1) I recently started to use this one in G/S/C. Not as a team member, but as a catcher. Especially for the Legendary Beasts. Hypnosis + Mean Look + Night Shade works well. IF you can pull it off. Save frequently, though, just in case.
I can doing the same. I have a checklist app and I am doing playthroughs through all the gens and using all the Pokémon, so I can claim to have used every Pokémon at least once. I don’t know the exact number but I got at least 200 Pokémon used( a lot of 3 stage Evos though)
Did you ever use Kingler? Do you know no Gym Leader, Elite Four or any other important NPC does use it? I had one in Let's Go and it was nice:-)
Giovanni uses a Kingler during his gym battle in the original Kanto anime.
@@BigOrangeSnowman88 yeah I know and so did Ash but I mean game characters. Sorry for the confusion. They could've given G-max Kingler even to Swordward (give Shielbert something like G-max Sandaconda)
Magneton is a lot of fun. Even just to role play. Lock on plus zap cannon just feels perfectly robotic.

I never used Tanglea, Drozey, seaking, seadra, kingler, Arboc, Magmar and Flarion
I've never used cloyster or dewgong and never used Machamp or golem and also never used farfetched and kangaskhan
I have used dewgong in fire red and let's go why I always thought it looked really cool f
It was actually pretty strong and realy fun
U should do a fire red play thru on this channel 7seibg most of the pokemon of this video
I used Weezing for the First time in Alpha Sapphire he was a Good Toxic stalker and Was helpful on my Team
I think I used a Dewgong in one of my Ultra Sun and Moon playthroughs but I don’t remember much of it
Dewgong looks like a candidate for your Improve That Pokemon videos.
Likitung. Never used it in the 25 years since I first played pokemon. Not even in the spinoffs. That goes for its evolution too.
I love Magneton so much more then Magnezone. In fact, I caught a shiny Magnemite in Scarlet, evolved it into Magneton and I’m keeping it there. I gave it a evolite and it’s still on my team.
the kantonian bird trio shouldn't even be legendary in replace for dragonite
I’ve never used Arcaninie’s or Arbok’s lines, but I had Blue and Yellow growing up
La and Ny were koffing and weezings originally planned names yeah? That was the reference you made to New York
Kadabra has been in a lot of my teams over the years. Getting such a powerful pokemon at level 16 is broken.
You can trade for a seal on cinnabar island and it quickly will become a dewgong with the trade xp bost. You missed out on easy beast for the elite 4
I never used any of them and I'm thinking of going back and replaying sun and ultra sun and using a lot of them or just some of them
Haunter is my favorite Pokémon. Bar none. :P he’s a happy good dude.
Weezing is my favorite Pokémon. It always ends up on my Kanto team lol
I find Gen 2 Kadabra one of the most broken Pokemon I’ve ever used
I’ve never used Drowzee, if I did it was just to evolve it to Hypno. I’ve also never used Gulpin lol
I Ran rapidash on my PLA team. Worked out okay
Sandslash is still the best Pokémon and you’ll never change my mind
I had a lvl 89 or so machoke in pokemon sapphire bc i never had a friend to trade with growing up 😭
Dewgong isn't as bad in Gen 1 as it's special stat is 95 like it's SpD in later generations. Still a bit late game though
Honestly forgot venomoth was gen 1 lol I always think of venonat as gen 2 because of tracy
ive used rapidash is diamond and it is a very underrated mon yeah fire stab is not its strongest attacks but it can hit hard and is fast use it as a snipe killer and it will perform good enough
Magnemite and Magneton are definitely my favorite Pokémon and I used them a lot in Fire Red
I fell for the in game trades Haunter in platinum and in all my stupidity fell for it again in Brilliant Diamond
I didn't use Magneton until gen 3 with Sapphire because that was the best electric type in that one.
Good ol' Venomoth, everyone's favorite Ghost/Ice type
Btw the best place in my opinion to use magneton is in gen 3 cause that poison type immunity plus there is no expectation of magnezone
For Rapidash, shy not use it in Legends Arceus? You get a shiny Ponyta
I say do a play through with the middle stage trade evo Pokémon.
Also Ditto for Agatha's Gengar since I was a friendless child
Why not use Venomoth for a mono-Bug or mono-Poison for Scarlet or Violet?
I'm using venomoth for the 1st time and it's challenging
I've always prefered Haunter over Gengar, I just simply think Haunter has a cooler design and thats what I go for.
Though, I've never had Haunter has a permanent teammember, but a swap-in if my main team wouldn't cut it in a gym match
I didn't always have access to trade evolutions so there was a time in fire red where I took Haunter to the elite four and it performed just fine. Though I'd prefer to have a fully evolved Gengar ngl.
How about Poliwag ? Can you do a team / run with him and any of their evolution ?
My brothers first shiny was Ponyta in diamond and pearl when he was a kid
Bro how to make trade Pokémon obey me
Charmender is annoying me
I used dewgong recently in blue version, it was pretty good
I always had Kadabra on my team, that thing was sweeping te whole game.
Kadabra has been in my team for every single gen. It never gets old and uselss
Lol you can get a machamp in Pokemon yellow near the daycare
I'll say it, Gaspar the Haunter was still a part of my team and was transferred through many of my games, later as a Gengar
Gaspar got a happy ending x3 becoming the Gengar they were meant to be.
Run magnemite in black or white 2 and you wont regret it
I’ve used Kadabra but never Alakasam
I used dewong in an ultra game as can be caught eary enough
😊
I've used most of these. I think the only ones I haven't are Venomoth, Magneton, and Ditto.
I'm not _entirely_ sure about Vileplume and Machoke, though.
I prefer the middle stage of trade evolutions
Here's of list of Kanto Pokémon I've never used on a playthrough team, but would really like to use at some point.
• Kingler
• Cloyster
• Flareon
• Vaporeon
• Victreebel
• Dodrio
• Dragonite
• Sandslash
• Ninetales
• Exeggutor
For me (in no order): Parasect, Golduck, Sandslash, Lickatung, Persian, Onix, Venomoth, Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, Seaking
Sandslash is an og beast
You should def use mr mime. It is a beast
Interesting list. Makes me wonder what you'd pick for the other regions.
Y'know, it's funny how you mentioned you created A LOT of teams in the past. You've yet to make one for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. At this point, though, I've just about given up on that from you, no offense. I'll just look elsewhere. 😞
A few responses to your list:
10) Then it got Quiver Dance, which makes everything better.
9) Same for me, about other options overshadowing it. Still, there’s always the possibility of a Hoenn Mono-Grass run (probably just in Emerald, where Roselia isn’t available).
8) Granted, it’s not as great without the Eviolite, but I acknowledge your willingness to try. Personally, I always wanted to use Rocky in Yellow, since he DOES evolve.
7) This is one I HAVE used before, even before its final evolution came out. But then I tested Jolteon, who quickly stole the spot for Best Kantonian Electric-Type. Bummer. (Naturally, I’ve used the final form several times, particularly in Sinnoh and Unova.)
6) Unevolved or not, it’s a beast. I only used it once, before preferring Hypno and later Jynx (access to sleep infliction).
5) Yeah, I always stuck to Charizard or Arcanine in Kanto. But both this and Ninetails deserve a fair shot. And yes, D/P infamy.
4) I always wanted to use one ever since I too saw Chuggaconroy’s Crystal run. I doubt I’ll ever catch a shiny, but this thing is a solid tank, and it has better coverage than you might expect.
3) I should give this one a chance. Even though I tend to use either Lapras or Jynx as my Ice-Type, most of the time. After all, this thing can take hits.
2) I only use it for breeding. And nothing else.
1) I recently started to use this one in G/S/C. Not as a team member, but as a catcher. Especially for the Legendary Beasts. Hypnosis + Mean Look + Night Shade works well. IF you can pull it off. Save frequently, though, just in case.
I can doing the same. I have a checklist app and I am doing playthroughs through all the gens and using all the Pokémon, so I can claim to have used every Pokémon at least once. I don’t know the exact number but I got at least 200 Pokémon used( a lot of 3 stage Evos though)
